It's gonna be a long two months

[serene]

I miss him.

His partner is being great. My partner is being great. Our date was really really really great. But I miss him. It drives me to distraction, and while there's none of that pre-face-to-face-meeting uncertainty any more, now there's knowing how marvelous his company is, and how good it is to touch him and kiss him and laugh with him, and that has its own ouchiness. I'm so pathetic. And through it all, I'm as happy as I've ever been, so it feels weird to whine about this.

I know, sweetie. It's hard. But it's so worth it :)

And, no, you're not pathetic. You're cute :)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

It had *better* be worth it. ;-)

How's life? Is aliciar drunk yet? ;-)

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Her flight doesn't get here until 6:30 pm. But she will be shortly afterwards ;)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Oh, man! Those hours-before-meeting can be harsh. *hugs*

(I must've driven lcohen and ayana nuts when I was getting ready to see him. I know all I could think about was can't-be-late-can't-be-late-can't-be-late!)

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm bouncy-can't concentrate-restelss-bouncy-bouncy-bouncy.

Did I mention bouncy??

And thanks for the "Sunny Came Home" earworm, BTW :P

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Yep, restless, that's it.

Re: your earworm, by the way, we're going to see her Feb. 18th, yay!

[submarine-bells.livejournal.com]

I hear ya. *smile*

It's a pain, but it's worth it though, isn't it? Better to miss someone wonderful than not have them in your life in the first place. That's how I see it, anyway.

*hugs*

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, it's utterly worth it. I'm comparing it to when TOTGA and I were falling in love long-distance and I knew it was unlikely I would *ever* see him in person. That was *way* worse. Here's a man who has room for me in his life. I don't want to understate how incredibly wonderful that is.

Enjoy your distraction. I know that 'missing him' feeling all too well, but it's *so* worth it IMO :)

And FWIW, I don't think you're whining at all :)
Many hugs if you'll have them.

Nice userpic!

Yeah, I'm happy and enjoying all the Disney Chemicals. :-)

And, um, Shell-hugs? I might want some after someone revives m---


*thunk*

Awwww, great big *empathy hugs* from here.

Even though my LDR and I have been together for a year, and even though he's been managing to make it down here 1-2 times a month, I still get all wistful and lonesome and touch-hungry when he goes home.

Ah, well. Nothing wrong with wanting it ALL.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Mmm, *hugs*, thanks. :-)

I'll do my best not to start envying 1-2 times a month (as opposed to once every 2 or so months).

And yes, wanting it all is fine. In fact, I think we *deserve* it all, don't you? :-)

*abso-frickin'-lutely*

Starting with those teleporters ...

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, teleporter!

[quietshell.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

You really know how to make a girl smile and feel loved :) ::happy smiley sigh::

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Easy to love you, dear. So how's life? How was the move? How the hell are you in general? I suppose I could send you an email and ask, but hey, here I am and here you are, and y'know?

[nolly.livejournal.com]

Once every 2-3 months is about what I manage with mine.

Email and IM help with the missing, for me. And, I don't know how to explain it, excatly, but time to get used to the lDR being what it is? It's sort of close...

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Email is helping, though at 40-50+ a day, we might need to slack off on that eventually. ;-) And yeah, I'm sure time will help. I know all this stuff, but it's really helping to have folks remind me of it. Thanks. *hugs*

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Amen. You said a mouthful.

Signed, the person picking up one of her LDRs at the airport in (checks clock) 4.5 hours :)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

So exciting. Couldn't happen to two cuter subversive-soccer-moms. ;-)

[quietshell.livejournal.com]

*giggle* I totally understand. I get lazy with e-mail too . . . and here we are, y'know? ;-)

Again, you are so sweet that I want to pinch your cheeks :) :) (I won't mention which cheeks though. Just to keep me out of trouble *grin*)

Life is ok. The move went well. I'm lonely for touch and friendships, but I will manage. I just need to get over this shyness and get my butt out there and find me some queers, damnit! :)

I'm sure that next week-end I'll be touched and loved plenty when I see S again in NYC, but then I'll miss him even more. But hey...that's another post coming up in my LJ ;)

Thanks for asking, sweetie. I hope life is treating you well too!

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

You need to have aliciar introduce you to MK and the guys as Casa Del Fag. I bet they can hook you up with some cuties ;)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

I love my life too much for words right now, thanks. And I don't know if this'll help, but when I was lonely for queer peeples, I started volunteering at the lbtg center and going to queer-themed poetry readings. Each helped with my introversion in different ways -- the Center because when I'm doing a job, I'm less bashful, and the poetry readings because one is never required to participate, but one is seen (and, in our cases, admired, of course) on a regular basis by cool, literate queerfolk.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Casa Del Fag? Tell!

[quietshell.livejournal.com]

Ack! I nearly choked! I should know better . . .shame on me.
